GCN4 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoGCN4, also known as GCN4, ABCF4, or BoABCF4, is a cauliflower gene on chromosome 8 that encodes an ABCF family protein with an ABC transporter-like ATP-binding domain and ATP hydrolase activity. It is associated with multiple transporter activities, including aluminium ion, UDP-glucose, sulfate, thiosulphate, and phosphate transmembrane transport, as well as ATP binding. The gene is linked to biological processes such as aluminium ion transmembrane transport and detoxification, UDP-glucose transport, phosphate ion membrane transport, response to aluminium, and arbuscular mycorrhizae formation. It localizes to the ATP-binding cassette transporter complex, vesicle membrane, periarbuscular membrane, tonoplast, plasmalemma, and cytosol. Related genes in other species are linked to disease resistance, nonhost disease resistance, and stomatal aperture.
